XHTML output for a single line of text is not encoded correctly

Reply Quote

I am able to reproduce this issue on the XHTML demo site: http://cutesoft.net/example/xmloutput.aspx

On that page, supply this single line of text in the text entry box:

This & That

Then click Submit. The produced output is:

<div>This &amp; That</div>

Note that the text is incorrectly encoded, in that it has an extra "amp" that shouldn't be there.

Now, put the cursor back in the text entry box, at the end of the line of text. Press Enter to supply a carriage return. Click Submit again. The output for that is:

<div>This & That</div><div> </div>

Note that the ampersand between "This" and "That" is now correctly encoded. I've tested this is both Chrome and IE9, and experienced the same behavior.

Is this a bug? Can it be fixed? Is there a workaround?

Thanks.

Hi moskie,

Please try the example below

<%@ Page Language="C#" ValidateRequest="False" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>
<html>
<head>
    <title>ASP.NET WYSIWYG Editor - Support output well-formed HTML and XHTML</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="Form1" runat="server">
        <CE:Editor ID="Editor1" runat="server">
        </CE:Editor>
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="btnUpdate" OnClick="Submit" runat="server" Text="Submit"></asp:Button><br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="textbox1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="250px" Width="770px"></asp:TextBox>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

<script runat="server">
    void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        if (IsPostBack)
        {
            textbox1.Text = Editor1.XHTML;
        }
        else
        {
            Editor1.Text = "test content";
        }

    }
    public void Submit(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        textbox1.Text = Editor1.XHTML;
    }
</script>

   <script type="text/javascript">
   function CuteEditor_FilterHTML(editor,code)
   {
      return code.split("&").join("&");
   }
   function CuteEditor_FilterCode(editor,code)
   {
      return code.split("&").join("&");
   }
</script>

We're in the process of testing whether this solution resolves the issues reported by our clients.

Is there any plan to include an official fix for this issue in future releases?
